A Trillion In Perspective
A friend sent me this impressive visualization of a very large sum of money - roughly the amount of which the Government has written IOU’s backed by our future productivity. So generous of them to loan such a stupendous amount of money on my behalf.
One Dollar
Ten Thousand Dollars
One Million Dollars
One Hundred Million
One Billion Dollars
One Trillion Dollars
Pretty impressive huh? This is only the beginning…
To accrue reckless debt on behalf of others, and where the only means of payment is the current wealth or future production of one man or a million, be it one cent or one trillion, is a contemptible feat of human evil.
